Abstract
Dy2O3-Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 would potentially give lower thermal conductivity and higher coefficient
of thermal expansion, which is a promising ceramic thermal barrier coating material for aero gas
turbines and high temperature applications in metallurgical and chemical industry. In this study,
Dy2O3-Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 ceramics were prepared using solid state reaction methods. Dy0.5Zr0.5O1.75
and Dy0.25Y0.25Zr0.5O1.75 consist of pure cubic fluorite phase, whereas both Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934 and
Dy0.02Y0.075Zr0.905O1.953 have tetragonal and cubic composite phases. The influence of the chemical
composition on coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and the thermal conductivity was investigated
by varying the content of rare earth dopant. Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934 exhibited a lower thermal
conductivity and higher coefficient of thermal expansion as compared with standard 8 wt.% Y2O3
stabilized ZrO2 which is used in conventional thermal barrier coatings. The compatibility between the
thermally grown oxide that consists of Al2O3 and the new compositions is critical to ensure the
durability of thermal barrier coatings. Hence, the compatibility between Al2O3 and Dy2O3-Y2O3 co-
doped YSZ was investigated by mixing two types of powders and eventually sintered at 1300˚C.
Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934 is compatible with Al2O3, whereas YAlO3 and Dy3Al2(AlO4)3 were formed
when Dy0.25Y0.25Zr0.5O1.75 and Al2O3 were mixed and sintered.
Keywords: New thermal barrier materials; rare earth doped ceramics; thermal conductivity;

1. Introduction
ZrO2 partially stabilized with 6-8 wt% Y2O3 (i.e. 3-4.5 mol% Y2O3 partially stabilized ZrO2) is
commonly used as a thermal barrier coating material for gas turbine components to protect them from
high operating temperatures and hot corrosion. Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are a complex system
and the durability and engine efficiency are critical factors to be considered in the development of
new TBCs [1]. The t’-tetragonal 6-8 wt% YSZ would transform into tetragonal and cubic phases, and
further into monoclinic phase, bringing about thermal mismatch between the bond coat and the top
coat at around 1200˚C [2]. Furthermore, the formation of cracks within TBCs can reduce the life time

of the TBCs and increase the cost for the whole process in industry [3]. Rare earth oxide doped ZrO2
has been considered as a substitute for the conventional 6-8 wt% YSZ because of the potential
improved material properties such as reduced thermal conductivity and enhanced phase stability at
much higher temperatures. Various types of new TBC materials have been developed, such as ABO3
perovskite structure [4], A2Zr2O7 pyrochlore structure [5] and A2Zr2O7 defect fluorite structure [6].
Although rare earth oxides such as La2O3 and Sm2O3 have been used as dopants to reduce the thermal
conductivity and enhance the operating temperature of the engine, limited studies have been
conducted on Dy2O3 as a dopant [5, 7]. Dy2O3 doped ZrO2 gives a stable fluorite phase between room
temperature and high temperature (2900°C) in a relatively wide composition [8]. 5-20% Dy2O3 doped
5YSZ have been investigated by Wang, summarizing that the 10% Dy and Y co-doped ZrO2 coatings
gave a higher resistance to heat transfer. Air plasma spraying method was used in Wang’s work and
the obtained thermal conductivity was around 0.6-0.75 W/mK. Thermal barrier coating deposited by
plasma spray method exhibits a typical thermal conductivity of 0.8-1.7 W/mK, and using Electron
Beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EBPVD) it has a thermal conductivity of 1.5-2 W/mK [1].
A variety of methods can be used to fabricate the high temperature ceramic coatings including the
commercial EBPVD and Plasma Spray (PS) methods, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method [9],
Electrostatic Spray-Assisted Vapour Deposition (ESAVD) method [10], etc. Solid state method and
chemical/liquid route have also been widely used to produce 6-8 wt% YSZ bulk samples for
mechanical, chemical and physical properties investigation. This paper highlights the development of
new thermal barrier materials based on Dy2O3-Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 and investigates their
thermophysical properties as well as their thermochemical stability. In order to conduct this study,
Dy2O3-Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 was fabricated using a solid state reaction method. The thermochemical
compatibility between the thermally grown oxide layer which consisting of Al2O3 and new thermal
barrier materials was investigated. In addition, thermophysical and thermochemical properties such as
thermal conductivity and CTE were also being characterized. The effects of co-dopants Dy2O3-Y2O3
on these properties were established.
2. Experimental
ZrO2 powders (Sigma-Aldrich), Y2O3 powders (Alfa Aesar, 99.99%), Dy2O3 powders (Advanced
Materials Resources) and ZrO2 partially stabilized with 4 mol% Y2O3 [4YSZ, Zr0.923Y0.077O1.962,
(Tosoh Corporation)] were used as the starting materials. The Dy0.5Zr0.5O1.75 [DZ], Dy0.25Y0.25Zr0.5O1.75
[DYZ], Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934, Dy0.02Y0.075Zr0.905O1.953 and 4YSZ powders were synthesized via solid
state reaction. Dy0.5Zr0.5O1.75 was prepared by mixing Dy2O3 and ZrO2 powders with a molar ratio of
1:2 in distilled water and 3 wt.% organic binder and 3 wt.% organic dispersant. The solution was
subsequently stirred for 30 min. Similarly, Dy0.25Y0.25Zr0.5O1.75 was prepared by mixing Dy2O3, Y2O3
and ZrO2 powders with a molar ratio of 1:1:4 in distilled water as well as 3 wt.% organic binder and 3
wt.% organic dispersant. For Dy0.02Y0.075Zr0.905O1.953 and Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934 powders, Dy2O3 and

YSZ were mixed with 3 wt.% organic binder and 3 wt.% organic dispersant in distilled water,
followed by 30 min stirring process. The molar ratio of DyO1.5 was 2% and 6%, respectively. The
standard 4YSZ powders were mixed with 3 wt.% organic binder and 3 wt.% organic dispersant in
distilled water. After drying, the dried powders were ball milled for 8h and compacted into pellets,
followed by pressureless sintering at 1400˚C with a heating rate of 7°C/min in the air atmosphere. The
typical sintering time was 6h, while the sintering time for DYZ and DZ was increased to 12h and 18h
to investigate the thermal behaviour of the as-synthesized pellets.
The crystal structure of Dy2O3-Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 was characterized using X-ray diffractomer
(Siemens D500, Cu Kα radiation) and Raman spectroscopy (Olympus BX41, He-Ne laser source
632.8 nm). The scanning step is 0.05° and the time step is 2s. The tension of the generator is The
surface morphology of the particle and pellets were examined by the scanning electron microscope
(SEM, Phillips XL30 ESEM-FEG). Coefficient of thermal expansion was measured from 100˚C to
1000˚C at a heating rate of 5˚C/min using a Thermalmechanical Analyzer (TMA, TA Instruments,
Q400). The thermal conductivity of the pellets was measured using a TCi thermal conductivity
analyser (C-Therm) at room with a thermal paste (Wakefield 120). The relative density was
determined by measuring the density of the pellet and calculating the theoretical density of each
chemical composition. The bulk density was determined via measuring the weight and the volume of
the pellet directly. The bulk thermal conductivity can be calculated based on the porosity and the
measured thermal conductivity using equation (1),
𝜅𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒 = 𝜅𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑1
1−1.5𝜑, (1)
where φ is the porosity, κmeasured is the measured thermal conductivity and κdense is the thermal
conductivity for the dense material (Schlichting, Padture et al. 2001). The calculation of dense thermal
conductivity is based on certain approximations including the spherical pores incorporated into the
homogeneous medium, the thermal conductivity for pores is infinite, overall thermal conductivity k of
porous materials is a sum of phonon scattering kP and photon scattering kR.
3. Results and Discussion
(a) SEM
The SEM images of co-doped Dy0.25Y0.25Zr0.5O1.75 [DYZ] and Dy0.5Zr0.5O1.75 [DZ] are shown in Figure
1 (a) and (b), respectively. The recrystallization region (i.e. circled area) in which open pores were
closed due to the diffusion of ions, was higher within DZ pellets than that in DYZ pellets. Open pores
were on the surface of both the pellets and the shape of these pores was more homogeneous on DYZ
pellets than that on DZ pellets. Furthermore, from the surface morphology point of view, the DYZ
pellet had more pores as compared with the DZ pellet. The open pore area on the surface of the DYZ
pellet was 24.7%± 0.7% while it was 33.7%±0.1% for the DZ pellet.

The crystal size can be estimated based on line broadening using Scherrer equation (2),
𝐷𝑋𝑅𝐷 = 𝜆𝐾
𝐵∙𝑐𝑜𝑠Ɵ, (2)
where D is the dimension of crystalline, λ is the wavelength (Cu Kα), Ɵ is the diffraction angle, k is
the constant (~0.9) and B is the full-width half maximum (FWHM) [11]. The FWHM can be
determined based on equation (3),
𝐵𝑝2(2Ɵ) = 𝐵ℎ
2(2Ɵ) − 𝐵𝑓2(2Ɵ), (3)
where Bp(2Ɵ) is the true half maximum width, Bh(2Ɵ) is the measured half maximum width of the
sample and Bf(2Ɵ) the standard half maximum width [12]. The 𝜆𝐶𝑢𝐾𝛼 = 1.5406 × 10−10𝑚, and the
standard material is LaB6 300.
Figure 3 The crystal dimension of Dy0.5Zr0.5O1.75 and Dy0.25Y0.25Zr0.5O1.75 (1 1 1)
With the increase in sintering time, the crystal dimension of (1 1 1) for DZ pellets increased linearly
and the crystal size for (1 1 1) DYZ pellets also increased. The grain growth due to sintering
contributes to the decrease of grain boundaries, hence reducing the phonon scattering sources. As a
result, the thermal conductivity of the pellets would increase with increasing sintering time. Moreover,
the crystal size increment for DYZ pellets between 12 hrs and 18 hrs was 5.75% and for DZ was
20.32%. During the long sintering time, the DYZ pellet exhibited a much lower increase in percentage
as compared with DZ pellet. The reason for the difference of the grain growth between 12h and 18h
for the two compositions can probably due to the different types of rare earth dopants and
concentration in DYZ and DZ which exhibiting different migration processes at high temperature.
Because the grain boundary growth is achieved via the diffusion of oxygen vacancies at the grain
boundary, Dy3+ and Y3+ cations can diffuse at the grain boundary during the high-temperature
calcination [13, 14]. Moreover, the migration enthalpies for Dy3+ is higher that Y3+ in ZrO2 system at

1273K, indicating that during the initial period, in DYZ Y3+ cations diffuse while in DZ Dy3+ cations
diffuse [15]. The crystal size for the Dy0.02Y0.075Zr0.905O1.953, Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934 and 4YSZ was not
calculated due to the fact that the phases were tetragonal and cubic phases which cannot be
determined using Scherrer equation.
(c) Raman analysis
The Raman spectrum for each composition is shown in Figure 4. Defect fluorites such as
Dy0.5Zr0.5O1.75 and Dy0.25Y0.25Zr0.5O1.75 would give a single broad band Raman active mode. In Raman
spectra, the broadband and low intensities are attributed to the defect fluorite in which the two cation
sites are disordered and 1/8 of the anions are absent [16]. Such randomly distributed oxygen ions can
bring about broad and continuum density of states [17]. Raman broadening can also be a result of
structure disorder and the strain within a crystal [18]. Besides, there are six active Raman modes for t-
YSZ from 100 to 800 cm-1 and five active modes have been detected within 200 to 1000 cm-1 due to
the Raman shift range limitation (Viazzi et al., 2008). 263 cm-1 is Eg stretching mode; 321 cm-1
indicates Zr-O B1g bending mode; 467 cm-1 is Zr-O stretching Eg mode; 614 cm-1 is the symmetric O-
Zr-O A1g stretching mode; 641 cm-1 is the asymmetric O-Zr-O Eg stretching mode [19].

(d) Thermal conductivity
The thermal conductivities of the sintered pellets are shown in Figure 5. DYZ exhibited lower values
for thermal conductivity than 4YSZ which is used in the conventional thermal barrier coatings. In
addition, when the sintering time increased from 6h to 12h, the thermal conductivity for DZ increased
from 1.60 W/mK to 2.40 W/mK, while for DYZ it increased from 1.14 W/mK to 2.41 W/mK.

Figure 5 Thermal conductivity of various ceramic thermal barrier materials
The reasons could be that the addition of Dy2O3 can create more oxygen vacancies than YSZ [7]. In
the solid solution, Zr4+ cation was substituted by Dy3+ and Y3+ cations with the incorporation of
oxygen vacancies for charge compensation. For instance, based on the defect chemistry and Kroger-
Vink notation,
𝐷𝑦2𝑂3 𝑍𝑟𝑂2→ 2𝐷𝑦𝑍𝑟
, + 𝑉𝑂,, + 3𝑂𝑂
𝑥 (4)
where 𝐷𝑦𝑍𝑟,
indicates Dy3+ cation taking the Zr4+ cation site with single negative charge, 𝑉𝑂,, is an +2
oxygen vacancy with double positive charges, and 𝑂𝑂𝑥 represents O2- anion on the oxygen site with
neutral charge [7]. The mean free path of phonons which can be significantly scattered by point
defects such as lattice strain, cracks and porosity, is calculated using equation (5),
1
𝑙𝑝=
𝑎3
4𝜋𝜈𝑚4 𝜔
4𝑐 (∆𝑀
𝑀)2 (5)
where a3 is the volume per atom, c is the defect concentration per atom, vm is the transverse wave
speed, ω is the phonon frequency, M is the average mass of the host atom and ΔM the mass
differences between the substituted and the substituting atoms [20]. The atomic weight of Dy (162.5)
is much heavier than that of Y (88.906) resulting in the higher scattering of phonon and photon in
DYZ as compared with that in DZ due to the fact that the mean free path of the phonon is in
proportion with the square of the atomic mass difference [21]. Furthermore, with increasing rare earth
content, the thermal conductivity decreased and then remained relatively stable probably due to the
different crystal structure and defect distribution. In defect fluorites DYZ and DZ, the phase consisted
of pure cubic phase, whereas in Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934, both tetragonal and cubic existed. Although
mass differences and defects such as oxygen vacancies in DYZ and DZ were higher than those in

Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934 because of the higher molar percentages, the overall thermal conductivities
were comparable among fluorite DYZ and DZ, tetragonal and cubic Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934.
(e) Coefficient of thermal expansion
The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for each composition was measured from room
temperatures to 1000˚C. The Dy2O3-Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 exhibited enhanced CTE with the increase
in the concentration of the dopant as compared with 4YSZ.
Figure 6 CTE for various ceramic thermal barrier materials from 100 to 1000˚C (units of CTE refer to 10-6/°C)
In the high temperature range, with the increase in the concentration of the rare earth oxide dopant
from 2% to 6%, the CTE values increased continuously. The increased content in the dopants resulted
in the increase of the concentration of oxygen vacancies and other defects in the YSZ lattice because
of the valence difference between rare earth ions and zirconium ions [22]. Furthermore, it has been
reported that for A2Zr2O7 pyrochlore and fluorite structure, Zr-O bond is the most critical parameter
influencing CTE after which A-O is the second most important factor while an O-O bond has little
influence on the CTE and fluorite structure, which has a weaker Zr-O bond and gives higher CTE
than pyrochlore [23]. The presence of defects such as voids, debonding, grain boundary and cracks
may weaken the atomic bond and thus can enhance the CTE values. Moreover, the CTE of rare earth
doped ZrO2 increases with decreasing dopant radius [24], Dy3+ is one of the smallest rare earth ions
and DYZ has the potential to exhibit a much lower CTE than 4YSZ. However, DZ exhibited higher
CTE values than YSZ when temperature is high than 800°C, while YSZ had higher CTE values than
DYZ over 100-1000°C. The reason can be due to the fact that DYZ and DZ exhibited cubic phase
while 4YSZ had tetragonal and cubic phases which involving defects such as phase boundaries. These
defects can further weaken the atomic bond and increase CTE.

(f) Thermochemical compatibility
The phase composition of the sintered mixture of Al2O3 and Dy2O3-Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 is shown in
the XRD pattern. In the DYZ and Al2O3 mixture, there are new phases, YAlO3 and Dy3Al2(AlO4)3,
while in the Al2O3 and Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934 mixture, no any new phase has been detected.

Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934
The compatibility between Al2O3 and Dy2O3-Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 can be studied via sintering the
mixture of a 50 wt.% of each type of powders. After 1400˚C 8h sintering, the DYZ powders reacted
with Al2O3, YAlO3 and Dy3Al2(AlO4)3 were formed while no new phases were detected in the mixture
of Al2O3 and Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934 powders. This can be a result of higher driving forces of the inter-
diffusion of Dy ions into Al2O3 crystals when the content of rare earth oxides increased. From 1600°C
onwards, Dy2O3 reacted with Al2O3 forming new solid state solutions with varied chemical
compositions (Figure 8) [25]. In the solid state reaction, the reaction between Al2O3 and Dy2O3-Y2O3
co-doped ZrO2 depends on the diffusion of Al3+, Dy3+ and Y3+, which is controlled by a parabolic rate
law [26],

where x is the amount of reaction, t is time and k is rate constant. With the increase of the thickness of
the reaction layer between Al2O3 and Dy2O3-Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2, the reaction rates decreased. Other
factors that influence the reaction rates include the surface area and the contact area between the solid
oxide, the rate of nucleation of the new phase, and the diffusion rate of ions. Therefore, the reaction
between Al2O3 and DYZ could occur readily, whereas Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934 is thermochemically
stable with Al2O3. The solid state reaction is a slow process even at high temperatures because it
involves the breaking of chemical bonds and the migration of ions, which requires sufficient thermal
energy to allow the ions to diffuse through the lattice.
Figure 8 Binary phase diagram of Dy2O3-Al2O3 [25]
Such new perovskite phase which has lower CTE as compared with t-YSZ can bring about thermal
stress at the interfaces of TBCs at high temperatures and hence influence the performance of the new
TBCs [27]. The compatibility between Al2O3 and Dy2O3-Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 can be maintained
when the content of oxide dopants (DyO1.5 and YO1.5) reached up to 13 mol% using solid state
processes. Moreover, in a thermal barrier coating, the composition of the mixed zone of the thermally
grown oxide and the ceramic top coat can delaminate when the interfaces are not compatible [28]. The
new composition of Dy2O3-Y2O2 co-doped ZrO2 exhibited promising properties as ceramic thermal
barrier materials for gas turbines in aero engines.
4 Conclusions
In conclusion, Dy0.25Y0.25Zr0.5O1.75 and Dy0.5Zr0.5O1.75 produced pure cubic fluorite phase, while
Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934 and Dy0.02Y0.075Zr0.905O1.953 consisted of tetragonal and cubic phases. Dy2O3-

Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 exhibited lower thermal conductivity and higher coefficient of thermal
expansion as compared with 4YSZ. Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934 produced the lowest thermal conductivity
and relatively higher CTE amongst the other chemical compositions. The presence of Dy3+ in the
zirconia lattice creates lattice strain and oxygen vacancies which are strong phonon scattering points
and weaken the chemical bonding. The thermochemical compatibility between the Al2O3 and the
Dy2O3-Y2O3 co-doped ZrO2 has been controlled by the content of the rare earth oxides.
Dy0.25Y0.25Zr0.5O1.75 can react with Al2O3 to form YAlO3 and Dy3Al2(AlO4)3; Dy0.06Y0.072Zr0.868O1.934 is
compatible with Al2O3.
